With second suicide bomb in
two days, Russia touts Olympic safety in fortress-like Sochi

Police officers detain people who gathered
for an unsanctioned event in downtown Volgograd, Russia, Monday, Dec.
30, 2013. A bomb blast tore through a trolleybus in the city of
Volgograd on Monday morning, killing at least 10 people a day after a
suicide bombing that killed at least 17 at the city's main railway
station. Volgograd is about 650 kilometers northeast of Sochi, where the
Olympics are to be held.

MOSCOW — Russian authorities ordered police to beef up security at
train stations and other facilities across the country after a suicide
bomber killed 14 people on a bus Monday in the southern city of
Volgograd.

It was the second deadly attack in two days on the city that lies
just 650 kilometres from the site of the 2014 Winter Olympics. Russian
authorities said they believe the latest attack was the work of the same
group that set off a deadly bomb Sunday at Volgograd’s main railway
station.

Together, at least 31 people were killed in the two explosions,
putting the city of 1 million on edge and highlighting the terrorist
threat that Russia faces as it prepares to host February’s Winter Games
in Sochi. While terrorists may find it hard to get into tightly guarded
Olympic facilities, the bombings have shown they can hit civilian
targets elsewhere in Russia with shocking ease.

The heightened security comes as Russians are preparing to celebrate
the New Year, the nation’s main holiday. In St. Petersburg, Russia’s
second-largest city, the local governor cancelled a New Year’s fireworks
show.

President Vladimir Putin summoned officials to report on the attacks
and sent Alexander Bortnikov, the head of the Federal Security Service,
the main KGB successor agency, to Volgograd to oversee the probe. The
Sochi Olympics are Putin’s pet project.

After meeting with security officials in Volgograd, Bortnikov voiced
confidence that officials will quickly find who was responsible for the
attacks.

Volgograd, northeast of Sochi, serves as a key transport hub for
southern Russia, with numerous bus routes linking it to volatile
provinces in Russia’s North Caucasus, where insurgents have been seeking
an Islamic state.

Vladimir Markin, the spokesman for Russia’s main investigative
agency, said Monday’s explosion involved a bomb similar to the one used
in Sunday’s attack.

“That confirms the investigators’ version that the two terror attacks
were linked,” Markin said in a statement.

Markin said a suicide bomber was responsible for the bus explosion,
reversing an earlier statement that the blast was caused by a bomb left
behind. At least 14 people were killed Monday and nearly 30 were
wounded, according to public health officials. It was not clear if the
dead included the bomber.

Seventeen people died in Sunday’s suicide bombing, including the
bomber, authorities said.

No one has claimed responsibility for either bombing, but they came
several months after Chechen rebel leader Doku Umarov threatened new
attacks against civilian targets in Russia, including the Olympics.

Volgograd, formerly called Stalingrad, also serves as an important
symbol of Russian pride because of the historic World War II battle in
which the Soviets turned the tide against the Nazis.

“Volgograd, a symbol of Russia’s suffering and victory in World War
II, has been singled out by the terrorist leaders precisely because of
its status in people’s minds,” Dmitry Trenin, the head of the Carnegie
Endowment’s Moscow office, wrote on the organization’s website.

Monday’s explosion ripped away much of the bus’s exterior and
shattered windows in nearby buildings. It paralyzed public transport in
the city, forcing many residents to walk long distances to get to work.

Police quickly dispersed a few dozen people who attempted to hold an
unsanctioned ceremony to commemorate the victims.

A handout picture taken and released on
December 30, 2013 by the Volgograd regional Interior Ministry
department's press service shows the wreckage of a trolleybus following
a suicide attack that destroyed the packed trolleybus killing 14 people
in the southern Russian city of Volgograd. The deadly bombing was caused
by a male suicide bomber, investigators said on December 30. The attack
comes a day after 17 people died in a suicide strike on the city's main
train station, exposing the huge challenge Russia's President Vladimir
Putin faces in ensuring safety at Winter Olympic Games staged on the
very edge of the violence-plagued North Caucasus.

Russian authorities have been slow to introduce stringent security
checks on bus routes, making them the transport of choice for
terrorists. A few months ago authorities began requiring intercity bus
passengers to produce identification when buying tickets, like rail or
air passengers, but procedures have remained lax.

But even tight rail security is sometimes not enough. On Sunday, the
suicide bomber at Volgograd’s train station blew up his device in front
of the station’s metal detectors when a policeman became suspicious.
That policeman died and other police were among the some 40 people
wounded.

The regional government has introduced five-day mourning for the
victims, and nationwide TV stations said they would revise their
programming to make it more solemn.

The Interfax news agency quoted an unidentified law enforcement
source as saying that a Slavic resident of a Volga River province could
have been the railway suicide bomber. It said the man joined the Islamic
rebels in Dagestan in 2012 and took an Arabic nom-de-guerre. There was
no confirmation of that report from any official sources.

Russia in past years has seen a series of terror attacks on buses,
trains and airplanes, some carried out by suicide
bombers.

Twin bombings on the Moscow subway in March 2010 by female suicide
bombers killed 40 people and wounded more than 120. In January 2011, a
male suicide bomber struck Moscow’s Domodedovo Airport, killing 37
people and injuring more than 180.

Umarov, who had claimed responsibility for the 2010 and 2011
bombings, ordered a halt to attacks on civilian targets during the mass
street protests against Putin in the winter of 2011-12. He reversed that
order in July, urging his men to “do their utmost to derail” the Sochi
Olympics, which he described as “satanic dances on the bones of our
ancestors.”

The International Olympics Committee expressed its condolences over
Sunday’s bombing in Volgograd, but said it was confident of Russia’s
ability to protect the Games.

Russian Olympic Committee chief Alexander Zhukov said Monday there
was no need to take any extra steps to secure Sochi in the wake of the
Volgograd bombings as “everything necessary already has been done.”

Russian authorities have introduced some of the most extensive
identity checks and sweeping security measures ever seen at an
international sports event.

The security zone created around Sochi stretches approximately 100
kilometres along the Black Sea coast and up to 40 kilometres inland.
Russian forces include special troops to patrol the forested mountains
flanking the resort, drones to keep constant watch over Olympic
facilities and speed boats to patrol the coast.

Anyone wanting to attend the games that open on Feb. 7 will have to
buy a ticket online from the organizers and obtain a “spectator pass”
for access. Doing so will require providing passport details and
contacts that will allow the authorities to screen all visitors.

The security plan includes a ban on cars from outside the zone a
month before the games begin.

When it comes to terrorism, Ontario has a government funded,
terrorist organization funded to the tune of a billion dollars a year
who are probably the largest criminal organization in Canada and its
been funded and promoted by the Liberals for decades.

This cult like terrorist criminal organization is called "The Children's
Aid Society of Ontario".

It's got so bad Ryason University came out with a video documentary at
www.Blakout.ca called "Powerful as God", its a must view for
anyone who cares about ridding Canada of terrorist criminal
organizations, especially one funded by the Ontario Government.

There is nothing more terrifying than having your child taken away
from you on to fund the mega billion dollar make work projects of the
Corrupt vile criminal terrorist organization called

The Children's Aid Societies of Ontario.

These criminals have gained control of the Ontario Superior Court by
being able to appoint to the Judiciary, their own faithful sargents at
arms, their own lawyers who after spending years representing the
"Society" end up being appointed, or more correctly, anointed, as judges
of the Ontario Superior Court.

Dam near every large court house in Ontario, is riddled with a large
number of judges who were all former lawyers for the most corrupt
criminal organization in Canada, "The Children's Aid Societies of
Ontario".

Take Marguerite Isobel Lewis an "officer of the court", "a lawyer"
believe it or not, who fabricates evidence personally, before a judge,
yes, a former CAS lawyer turned judge who turns a blind eye and gives a
rubber stamp to the CAS to abuse yet another child.

Then there is probably the worst example of a criminal pretending to be
a Child Protection Worker, who habitually fabricates evidence, one
Phillip Hiltz-Laforge of the Children's Aid Society of Ottawa.

These are only two examples from just one of the 48 secretive cult
like criminal branches of Ontario's largest criminal organization that
rules if not runs Ontario for its own "make work projects" that is in
effect, stealing billions of dollars from

the citizens of Ontario.

Next election, DONT VOTE for Kathleen Wynn, an example of the Liberals
who have promoted and this festering vile corrupt criminal organization
in Ontario and one which has dam near totally corrupted the Courts of
Ontario.

The police? dam near every police force in Ontario is controlled or
directed by their local Children's Aid Society who have "The Power of
God".

When, in gods name is a single politician going to stand up and say,
"Enough is Enough and its time to STOP CAS.
